Description

Polyt(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), Alpha.-Sulfo-Omega.-(Hexadecyloxy)-, Sodium Salts is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycol ether sulfate class, valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties. This compound is engineered to deliver consistent performance and stability in demanding industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance foliar spreading and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths as a detergent and leveling agent to ensure uniform dye uptake and fiber treatment.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for superior oil removal and surface wetting.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed in the production of shampoos, body washes, and skincare products for its mild foaming and cleansing characteristics.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development, stability, and application properties in aqueous systems.
• Leather Processing: Utilized in tanning and fatliquoring processes as an emulsifier for oils and fats to ensure soft, uniform leather.
